Valorant crashing my PC upon start up
It crashes then I have to restart and reinstall graphic driver(rx 570). This has never happened before and idk what caused it

It doesn't happen on other games or software
Does your pc restart or does it just kill the display?
It kills the GPU I think
Cause no display
Need to restart then reinstall drivers
But PC is still on ?
Yes
After you restart
Does it go back to the Microsoft basic display?
I'm not sure
It like
Blurrier
Like it goes into a back up driver or sumthin
Maybe it does
I also can't play any games in this state
What GPU do you have
Rx 570
@AbhimสŇyu :Clove_Wave: spawn n
Y'all have a fix for it?
Also this
Can't reinstall vanguard
For the 5th time
;vgc
- Open the Task Manager > Details tab
- End the task on all VALORANT, Riot Client and VANGUARD-related apps/services
- Open the Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
- Uninstall Riot VANGUARD
- Open CMD as Admin and type these commands:
- sc delete vgc
- sc delete vgk
- Navigate to your C: Drive, then Program Files
- Find the VANGUARD folder and delete it
- Open the Riot Client and click update
- Restart your computer after the update
After you’re done with that:
- Press Windows key + R
- Type services.msc
- Look for vgc
- Right-click on vgc > Properties
- Change the startup type to automatic
- Start the services (if not started already)
We will be waiting for your response, thank you.
Okay ty
I'll update asap
Oh wow
It worked
Didn't crash on startup
Lemme test further
Wait
So vanguard can cause bsod, black screens and no signals?
Ok nvm
I press start on swiftplay
It crashes
maybe microsoft display adapter overwrites the drivers
I reinstalled drivers using ddu and still black screen crash
And now, after rebooting, it boots into the wrong resolution
I tried ddu, reinstalled ram and GPU, tried windowed fullscreen, tried disabling full screen optimizations and compatibility mode, disabled my antivirus and tried to reinstall vanguard
Nothing worked
If anyone has suggestions
Please tell me
What’s your PC specs
What Cpu and gpu you got
R5 2600
Rx 570
Aorus B450m
My last resort is reinstalling valorant
Tried clean boot
It opened but black screened no signal after a few seconds
But this time it restarted itself
Ok so the good thing is
After it restarted itself, I no longer have to redownload the drivers
It did not crash the drivers
Ts so complicated man
@Soupy Soup may I request for help
So um
I hit repair on riot client
And it downloaded sum stuff
It started and in game when I click start
No crash
I didn't even think that the client had a repair button
But lemme test
If it's fixed
It is not fixed
But I did get to the agent selection screen
Before it black screened
Can someone help D:
Honestly since it only happens with valorant, just contact support

Update: After talking to chatgpt, it arrived at the conclusion of replacing my vga to HDMI cable with dvi-d to hdmi/dvi-d. I already ordered it and I'll update if it works.
You were using a converter? I doubt its the issue but hopefully its the issue
i ran val on a vga to dvi/d for years iwthout an issue
Dam
I reinstalled valorant
Testing rn
Yup crashed
I actually think it's the cables
Cause sometimes the option to change to 75hz
Does not show
In my monitor
I think my vga to HDMI cable can't handle 75hz
My monitor is set to 60hz but my in-game settings is 75hz, I think it black screens when it tries to override the refresh rate
But in 75 hz(in monitor) I can go to the lobby and agent selection but it still black screens
